    Newton's Cradle is a device that demonstrates conservation of momentum and energy through a series of solid metal spheres suspended in a line that are set into motion by the contact of one sphere. The document tests Newton's Cradle by pulling back marbles at different angles and observing the results, finding that it generally only works as intended when a single marble is pulled back to a 45 degree angle and released, while other configurations result in all marbles moving together.
